I like more this view of the car: http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...ew-super-coupe

No GULLWING = No Awesome. Like a Lambo V12 without Scissor doors.

It's not the new SLS, it's the GT. This will be about half the price of the SLS and is aimed directly at the Porsche 911.

ART running Lexus. Lexus = Toyota. Nico Lapierre drove for ART, drove for Toyota! Will no doubt see him in their car again

The ART story brings up the interesting point about which manufacturer is playing by the 'spirit' of GT3 and which isn't. ART this season seemed to indicate that McLaren was finally taking things seriously, but apparently it's not enough. Then again, the 12C continues to have a dismal record at the marquee long distance events.

Sad that the AMG GT won't be having those gullwing doors like the SLS. Oh well, I guess those factory doors will be replaced by some tuner shop.

The tuner (of the AMG GT) won't probably supply the accident response system of AMG in case of upside down in which the door anchorage explodes enabli9ng the driver get out of the car despite the Gullwing doors. This maybe makes expensiver the Gullwing doors, a reason why it's been removed in a half price segment.

Just to update - as per tweet this morning - "Earlier story ref Lexus/ ART has been withdrawn - I'm assured that reports of team testing the RCF are incorrect & that McLarens will remain"

Rodger Davies · 10 Sep 2014, 13:40 (Ref:3451833)

Thanks for the update: I'm just happy to hear they'll be back, hopefully still in Blancpain.

That's one of the prettier modern sports car designs I have seen. Nice there are still people out there who can draw curves. Folds and creases are getting old—nothing wrong with them but it seems most new cars are all angles. Flowing curves are natural and timeless.

The only thing I ever decided about it was it was 4 more than the 924 but 16 less than the 944.

I as well appreciate curves. They seem to stand up well over time.

There goes my theory.

Reiter has big plans for their Gallardo next year- http://www.dailysportscar.com/2014/0...-r-ex-gt3.html

urdragon · 14 Sep 2014, 13:12 (Ref:3453230)

LOL R EX = Reiter extension, like a Call of Duty expansion pack... I wonder how it will look.

I am sure this R-EX package will be available as "DLC" for existing Lambo GT3 owners.

BTW interesting to read this interview. For me Reiter > Lambo factory.

On the subject of the Huracan GT3, seeing Audi involved in developing the car worries me as they'll make it un-competitive in order for the R8 to win most of the time.

In the end it's like a game, you cannot play if you don't own the original LP600+ (Where the FLV kit is mounted)

Rodger Davies · 14 Sep 2014, 18:49 (Ref:3453295)

They won't. Otherwise they just wouldn't bother.

With Bentley having lost their only customer so far, I wonder if they're going to sell (m)any cars this off-season. The M-Sport customer programme wasn't looking so hot at Donington either.

Did they? IIRC it was a Dutchman.

Rodger Davies · 14 Sep 2014, 18:54 (Ref:3453302)

That's Viper, no? Generation Bentley is/was the only customer I know of. Not saying there aren't others, but I've not read about them if so.

I seee more than assembling both cars s so similar (Based same platform) it could be done in same factories and almost lines, so a separate assembly is not optimal. Out of the factory I suppose Lamborghini motorsport should take care. Even it is supposed Lamborghini built a special purpose building at Sta agata for high tech cars where a GT3 could be built.

English GT3 Cars got high problems with prices, Not onlyThe MP412C being one of the most expensive, but also, Hans reiter claimed he could build a Camaro and a lambo for the price of a Bentley.

Aren't the Dyson cars customer cars?
